It's ok to admit liking Dilbert cartoons again?

I just saw the news that Scott Adams (the Dilbert cartoonist) is finally fed up with Trump's nonsense. It took him long enough.

The story is at https://www.rawstory.com/scott-adams-trump/.

1. Dilbert is funny.

Scott Adams is tragically someone I would never associate with.

2. I've always appreciated them - at least those his politics didn't seep into

As someone who has made a career in various IT roles, I'm definitely in the core target audience for his brand of office humor

3. I never liked Dilbert

So, we’re good!

4. Rats leaving the TFG sinking ship are still rats. Truly no offense to all non FG rats.

5. Loved the cartoon, it was my workplace on the nose, Dilbert looked like me - I thought Adams ...

... was decent person, but he is a RW jackass. Dilbert is still funny.

6. No, but ok as long as you don't give Adams a dime.

Just because he is starting to walk away from Dump, doesn’t me he isn’t still a full bore crazy fascist. But just like it’s fine to like Harry Potter as long as the author gets none of your money, it’s ok to enjoy Dilbert under the same rules.

7. I like Dilbert.

10. Count me in as someone who likes Dilbert but dislikes Scott Adams.

11. Adams is a Libertarian Tool.

However, back in 2016 I heard an interview with him (on Bill Maher?) where he discussed Trump's campaign rhetoric. Adams specifically linked it to Con Artist techniques.

Simplistic mnemonic devices, consonant-heavy catchphrases and dehumanizing nicknames (Crazy Bernie, Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, etc.), negative framing, repetition, repetition, repetition.

Adams probably enjoyed it as a troll or from a policy perspective. It made me lose even more respect for Repukes, because they're the ones it worked on (as well as Low-Information dumbfucks who vote).

12. I am going to wait and see what happens
